Its a flood of blood.

A flow of blood? What are you on your period?

ohhhhh $@#&!!

this policy has nothing to do with how the corp pays its members. This is completely separate bud. As far as ive been told this is only a way to ease the burden of the members between official fights. If you wanna know how payments are gonna be, feel free to ask quickgloves on the STB thread.

does that change things? it sounds like you thought this was how we were gonna be paying our members, which i have no say in.

If this is not how you pay your metcs what is the point in having insurance?

Ahem...

well, some of your comments should answer themselves.....the incentive is winning. That is your payday. We win, we get big contracts. Insurance allows you to fight without worrying about your costs as long as you perform adequately. The numbers also protect STB from having to dish out money to underperforming or undedicated members.

Pfft!! another pyramid scheme FOR SURE!


Where are you getting these "big contracts" from????? TELL ME!

I'm glad to hear this it make a bit more sense than the insurance policy, according to lurch a player is only there to help you win but can only break even at a perfect scenerio. And receive no loot above and beyond for winning.

I'm glad to hear this makes more sense than the insurance policy.

lol its cool lurch your post is clear on its point it refers to our insurance policy

The question posed was how will this benfit average players playing daily earning for STB.

So a quick describtion of STB player payroll was inorder to show how STB merc will be able to earn for themselves while benefiting the Corp itself while not taking advantage of its members

well ****, after everything thats been said, i think this is some pretty exciting **** for people interested in STB.

lol you butchered my typing in my quote. I think you need another beer dude, your getting shaky.

sure no problem.

The reason why assault suits have a higher maximum compensation amount is because assaults and heavies are most likely going to be right in the fray, while scouts and logistics, due to the nature of how the roles play, not so much, and commanders, well you get the idea. Obviously these numbers can change with new builds, but i dont see them changing very much fro where they are.

basically think of AE as your KD with a particular suit. At each tier of AE, you qualify for differing amounts of compensation PER ROUND and will have all your fitting losses covered each round until you reach your highest earned maximum compensation amount or you have been fully compensated for your losses.

Basically, say you die 5 times as an assault suit in an official STB match. As long as you qualify for that much compensation according to your AE on the chart, you will get all 5 of those fits reimbursed.

I can't say I agree with this, I am an extremely mobile scout with two main suits, one with a sniper rifle, smg and nanohive (Marksman) that I use to post up and out-snipe other snipers across the map. My other suit is outfitted with a shotgun, smg, remote explosives and AV grenades (Infiltrator/AV) that I use to infiltrate the enemies front-lines, hack objectives and open up passages for my team.

I have lost track of the amount of times I am the MVP for my team, through BOTH kills and objectives, however because of the nature of my suit I do still get cut down occasionally and I would like to be reimbursed for the same fraction of my dropsuits so I can put my money toward making them stronger and more unlikely to be taken out in two seconds down in the fray.

It would be just as worth it to you to provide scouts the same way because they will be covering your behinds when the game comes to open beta, if you look at what the devs have planned then you will see that without makrsman like me you will be essentially blind to your enemies. There will be no enemy notifications unless we see them and report them (that's the plan anyway, what with CCP wanting hyper-realism), and the less money I spend on equipment the more I can spend on muzzle-flash detection/bullet-tracking/active-scanners/whatever, later on.

Just sayin'
